Pumpkin seed oil is a specialty of Steiermark, or the Austrian province of Styria. This beautiful, lush province is located in the southeastern corner of Austria and borders on Hungary, Slovenia, and Italy. Styria's cuisine has, therefore, been greatly influenced by both eastern and western cultures. The Styrians are, however, a very stubborn people and hold on tenaciously to their native foods as well. One of these is pumpkin seed oil. Pumpkins grow very well in Styria, and her people have become well-versed in the pressing of oil from the seeds of these fruits. Our native extra virgin pumpkin seed oil comes from 100% pure Styrian pumpkin seeds. The seeds are roasted and then pressed to release a dark green oil with a rich, nutty flavor. This oil is used in nearly every traditional Styrian meal. One taste, and you will be hooked too.

I'm very pleased with the consistant quality of the pumpkin seed oil. The package arrived on time and was packed exceptionally well and with a lot of care. I will order again from igourmet in the future.

Great way to shop

A flavor from the country of my birth. The nutty taste of the "Kuerbis oil" is just as good as it was when I last enjoyed it there. My American friends love the taste in salads, with cucumbers, etc.

Nice and authentic pumpkin seed oil

I am from Austria and ordered this pumpkin seed oil for a friend. It tastes pretty authentic and is in a nice bottle, however the best way to enjoy it is in a nice Styrian beer garden ;)

Great product and service

We have received our Pumpkin Seed Oil just in time for our New Years Eve tradition of eating lentil salad for good luck. This Oil makes a big difference in the taste. The service was great and the delivery of the package on time like always. All best wishes for the new year.

Hooked on Pumpkin Seed Oil!

It's true that once you taste it you will be hooked. We first experienced this in a restaurant in Austria and had trouble finding it. So glad you offer it here ~ It's delicious!

excellent product

Had this on my last trip to Austria. Couldn't wait to get home and share with family and friends. Only problem was no one in the states carries this oil. I was pleased to find this at igourmet. This will be a common staple in our pantry. Use this like a dipping sauce with your favorite bread with a little sea salt. Or drizzle over a pumpkin soup. You will be amazed.

Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil

Excellent product. I first heard about Pumpkin Seed oil on National Public Radio. Then again, from my son, a chef, extolling its virtues. A little drop enhances the flavor of just about anything you are cooking. I'm hooked!
